July 19, 201610 yr comment_12510 Just bought a FLIRC on Amazon, for the express purpose of using the great VLC multimedia program with my trusty old URC300 remote. The FLIRC arrived last night. I downloaded the FLIRC software, plugged in the dongle, and mapped the virtual keyboard to correspond with VLC's hotkeys. Within 20 minutes, I was using VLC seamlessly with my remote. What a great device.It really is amazing to me how simple it was to get VLC and FLIRC in sync with my 12-year-old remote. Prior to discovering FLIRC, I had snooped around the internet, looking for IR solutions for VLC. There is an excellent web interface for VLC, but infrared was a different story. All the solutions other than FLIRC were way too complicated and problematic, with no guarantee of usability or success.Thanks to FLIRC and its creator, Jason Kotzin, for making a great device that benefits people everywhere.
